The Harp Seal is one of nature’s most beautiful and lovely creatures(动物). Many years ago it was hunted for its white fur. Catching or killing Harp Seal is now against law.
The Seals spend the summer months moving in large groups. Harp Seals close their noses and ear holes when swimming deep in water, but they have to come out of the water for air from time to time. Their favourite place to rest is on the top of icebergs(冰山).
The mother Harp Seal gives babies in February or March and feeds her children for 14—18 days. Baby Harp Seals begin to lose their white fur at around six to eight weeks of age. When they grow up, the Harp Seals have brown skin. At birth, Harp Seals weigh 12kg but can weigh up to 130kg as they become grown-ups. Harp Seals eat small fish, shrimps(虾) and krill(磷虾). However they are living in different places. Father Harp Seals can live as long as 29 years while mother Harp Seals usually live for longer than 30 years.

Feeling tired lately? Has the doctor said he cannot find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced (先进的) equipment there shows that there is nothing. Then consider this, you might be in a state of subhealth.
Subhealth, also called the third state or grey state, is explained as a border(边界) line state between health and disease. According to an investigation(调整) by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of subhealthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam time.
Symptoms(症状) include a lack of energy, depression, slow reactions, insomnia(失眠), agitation(焦虑), and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs.
The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work with rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open-air activities.
As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish, because they are rich in nutritional (营养) elements – vitamins and trace elements (微量元素) – that are important to the body.
